Tips Before You Go

• Davidson Health Centre uses triage — patients are seen based on urgency of need, not order of arrival, so expect to wait if your condition is not life-threatening.
• You cannot make an appointment at the emergency department; for non-emergency health concerns, the attached Davidson Primary Care Clinic may be a more appropriate option.
• If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency such as chest pain, stroke symptoms, or serious injury, call 911 immediately rather than driving to the ER.
• Davidson Health Centre participates in a virtual physician program, meaning a remote physician may provide emergency coverage when no local physician is on-site — this helps ensure you receive timely care.
• If you or a loved one has complex medical needs that may require specialist care, be aware that you may be stabilized at Davidson and transferred to a larger regional hospital; ask staff about this possibility on arrival.

What to Bring

• Saskatchewan Health Card (provincial health card)
• Government-issued photo ID
• List of current medications including dosages
• Any relevant medical history documents or specialist letters
• List of known allergies
